THE INTER-STATE COMMERCE.
BILL AND FREE PASSES.


The President OF the Union Pacific rail
road has, in obedience to what he deems
the meaning of the Interstate Commerce
bill, directed that no more free passes be
granted over his road.
These are the sections ON which he bases
his action:
"SECTION2. That if any common carrier
subject to the provisions OF this act shall,
directly or indirectly, by any special rate,
rebate, drawback, OF other device, charge,
demand, collect, or receive from any per
son or persons a greater or less cOmpenSa-
ton for any service rendered, or to be rem
dered, in the transportation Of passengers
or property, subject to the provisions OF
this act, than 1t charges, demands, collects
or receives from any other person or per
SONS for doing for him or them u like and
cOntempOraneOuS service in the t~ranSpOrta-
tiOn of \ like kind OF traffic under sub
stantially similar circumstances and con-
ditiOnS, such common carrier shall be
deemed guilty of unjust discrimination,
which is hereby prohibited and declared To
be unlawful"
Section 3 of the act makes il unlawful
for any common carrier subject to its pro-
visions to make or give any undue or IN
reasonable preference or advantage to any
particular person, company, firm, corpora
ton or locality, OF any particular deScrip-
tiOn of traffic in any respect whatsoever,
or 10 subject any particular person, COM
pany, firm, corporation or locality, or any
particular description of traffic, to any
undue or unreasonable prejudice OF diSad-
vantage in any respect whatsoever
Ii is likely that CHAS. FRANCIS ADAMS,
President of the Union Pacific, has gotten
tired of issuing passes, or he wants to have
a revenge upon certain parties for passing
the Interstate Commerce bill. Section -
of the bill says:
That nothing in this act shall apply to
carriage, storage, or handling of property
free OF at reduced rates for the United
States, State or municipal governments, OF
for charitable purposes, or to or from fairs
and expOSitiOns for exhibition thereat, or
the issuance Of mileage, excursion OF COM
mutation passenger tickets; nothing in this
act shall be constructed to prohibit any
common carrier from giving reduced rates
to ministers of religion; nothing shall be
construed to prevent railroads from giving
free carriage to their own officers and en-
ployes, or to prevent the principal officers
Of any railroad company or companies from
exchanging passes or tickets with other
railroad companies or their officers and en-
ployes."
The phrases Gown officers and EN-
ployes," excursion or Communication
tickets" leave . good deal of latitude in
dispensing passes, even ifthe sections above
quoted are construed to e that issuing
passes as now prsctieed is unlawful.

THE
M Legislature of West Virginia and Its
Work.

""AN
To the Editor ct he Register.
A few years ago a notorious liar, who
signed himself Quilp, writing rs a travel
ing correspondent for the HateHigeRcer, pub,
liShed lie after lie concerning the Insane
Asylum. The result of theSelies was the
appointment of an Investigation Commit
tee by the Legislature tosee whether Quilp
was a liar, u something he was always be-
fore that time, or whether the Superin.
teDdent was guilty of the charges tTumped
up in the LRteLigencCr against him by the
notorious Quilp. The committee was sent
to Weston To find out what it could about
the management of the Asylum. The COM
mittee investigated, not the Superintend-
eut and his management, but the state
ments Of Quilp. Not a word of truth was
found by the committee in any of the
charges made by Quilp. The committee
came back and made u blank report against
the Asylum, 50 far Is any of the charges OF
Quilp were concerned. The Legislature
had to foot the bill of expenses incurred by
the committee.
Now another Investigation Committee
has been appointed for the Asylum, and
still another one for the State Penitentiary.
These two committees will, rs their pred
ecesSOrS have done, make q blank report.
Ii the Legislature hasn't anything else
to do but to spend the peoples money
upon investigation committees, it had
better adjourn and come home.
IL does seem 10 me that the Legislature
might he more profitably employed in the
interests of the people, than listening to
newspaper correspondents, airing themselves
about our public institutions.
We TALL know that the Legislature of
West Virginia commits many blunderS, be-
cause Of the lack of craftsmanship, but for
these blunders the people are ~charitably
disposed toward the Legislature. But not
so in regard to the appointment of these
useless Investigation committees.
The session is more than hall passed,
and but little has been done for the peo-
pie vet The Legislature of the State,
year after year is wasting the money oftbe
people i'll useless Investigations and tue
agitation and discussion OF questions of no
public benefit to the State. Such men
ought to empty their air guns before they
enter the halls OF the Legislature, and what
little, if any, of ability they may nave use
in the enactment of the laws We so much
need. ONE OFTHE PEOPLE.

A Chance for Capitalists.
NEwBURG, W. VA,
February 9. 1857.

To The Editor OF the Register.
The knowledge that the columns OF your
interesting paper are always open to any
communication pertaining to the interests
of the State or her future prospects, m
duces me to ihtrude myself at this time,
whilst the political news from Charleston
occupies 80 much of your space. | think
that in place of trying to develop the
very undemoeratic principles of a kicking
minority trying to defeat the wishes oil the
majority, the Legislature ought to take
stems TO bring the vast mineral and lum-
her resources of the State permanently be-
fore the public in anticipation OF the ad-
v~antases which will result to her from the
adontion of the Interstate Commerce bill.
iron being on a boom just now,
7 desire to call the at
tention of Wheeling capitalists
engaged in its manufacture, that Mt Will
sonia, Grant county, which Is touched
by the West Yirgiaia Central & Pittsburg
Railroad, there is an immense deposit OF
iron ore of rich percentage and thousands
of acres in extent The different veins, OF
which there are six or more, are now being
developed. There are also several veins OF
fine coal, aggregating forty feet, some Of
which are of superior cOkirg qualities.
There is also a vein of limestone and one
of fire clay. Taking into consideration
the railrord facilities and the fact that i'll
the same hill is found in abundance all the
raw material to make pig iron, l claim
that furnaces can be worked there at
greater profit than at any point either in
the United States r Great Britain. l
think it would be well for capitalists to
investigate the place, either by personal
visit or expert agents for there Is certainly
q splendid chance there for profitable in
vestment. Yours, p. J. 5.

THE henious charges preferred against
Superintendent PECK, of the Penitentiary,
seem to have nearly all vanished into thin
air, and, though somewhat battered, he
will likely come out to a better advantage
than his accuSers. But the investigation
will not, after all, be barren Of good re-
suits, as the committee will be able toree-
ommend several important measures to the
Legislature in regard to conducting the

THE bill published in this mornings
REGISTER and introduced into the Legis-
lature by Mr.. JONES, placing a tax Of one
dollar on every 800 worth of goods offered
at auction, and not hitherto assessed by
taxation in any county Of the State, is one
that will be very acceptable to the mer-
chants of our State. As the Laws is at pres
ent, men from other States can rush in
goods at the most prosperous season Of the
year, sell them at auction, pocket the
money and walk out of the State without
paving a cent of taxes to the State, while
our " merchants must pay taxes on all
property and merely grin and bear the in
Justice that the law permits. The bill
referred to will nave q wholesome influence.
A LAW FOR TAN EXEMPTIONS.
1t is hoped that the Senate will concur
in the vote OF the House of Delegates in
passing Mr.. CHIPLEY's bill making the
statute in regard to exemptions from taxa
ton conform to the State Constitution.
The people of the State have become tired
of changing policies by different Admins
tratiOns and they want the matter settled
one way or the other. Ii has caused much
annoyance, i'll feeling, trouble and some
injustice in bearing the burdens of taxa
ton, rs some paid the tax ~ ordered in
Governor JACRSON'S assessment order,
while some refused. No small ]incOnyeni-
ence was caused when Governor WILSON
reversed this order, rs some Of the asses
sors had already done much of their work
and had to make changes.
We nave all along held that making the
statute conform with the Constitution
would distribute the burdens of taxation
most equally, and instead Of doing i'll
Justice to the farmers Is
has been claimed by many
will have the opposite effect. The reversal
O Gov. JACKSON's order has freed several
million dollars worth OF property in the
State from taxation. This of course throws
a heavier tax upon other property, and
consequently the farmers tax is made
larger rather than smaller by the statutory
exemptions.
But if we cannot have the statute made
to conform to the Constitution then let us
have q constitutional amendment and
make the Constitution conform To the
statute. This is q question OF too much
Importance to let partisan politics or any
thing else prolOng the misunderstanding
and eayiliDgs.
